New to the forum and first post so apologies in advance if I'm doing anything wrong.
I have just bought a 2016 N-connecta qashqai and have noticed a warning that appears on the bird eye view camera temporarily before disappearing when the car is in reverse. I have looked through every part of the manual and online and suspect it is to do with a sensor but not 100% sure so I'm hoping someone has had experience with this in the past and can shed some light as to what it means?..
Attached is a picture I managed to grab before it disappeared.
Thank you

I've looked for this myself and not found any references anywhere but from the other symbols Nissan use I 'think' it's trying to tell you it hasn't got a satellite connection established for the GPS.

I usually get that warning symbol on the around-view monitor on my current Qashqai. It used to appear a lot on my previous Qashqai from 2014. It will be interesting to know if you find out what it means! 🤨

I think you're right, but what's the on-screen icon trying to tell us that the beeping doesn't convey?

If you engage reverse or switch on the camera when stationary (front view), and then switch off the parking sensors, the sensor symbol flashes five times in the centre of the "birds eye view" car, then goes out. The indicator light on the switch (1) also goes out and, logically, there is no sound from the sensors when the sensors are turned off. However, I found that switching the sensors off is overridden next time the vehicle is put into reverse.
The symbol flashing is in grey, but yours is red. This perhaps suggests your sensors are faulty or more likely just need cleaning.

The odd thing about this symbol is that it also appears on my 2017 J11a N-Connecta. It usually occurs when I am turning around a the end of our cul-de-sac. It would be interesting to know precisely what it is attempting to tell me
